Music Directors: Darlington Quartet
Performed by: Darling String Quartet with Dr Matt Styles (Saxophone)
Join the Darlington Quartet and saxophonist Matt Styles for an exciting evening of
American music. Samuel Barber’s String Quartet Op. 11, written when he was just
26 years old, shows the young composer enlivening the Romantic traditions of his
training with his own distinctive voice. The outer movements, bold and lyrical by turns,
frame the famous, heart-wrenching Adagio, most often played by a string orchestra
but heard here in its original form. The stage then shifts to Perry Goldstein’s
exuberant Saxophone Quintet for alto saxophone and string quartet, a work whose
three movements display wildly different characters and an equally wild range of
musical influences, from jazz to minimalism. A daring exploration of the tonal and
expressive capabilities of both saxophone and strings, this piece is an exhilarating
adventure for both players and audience.
